Also, nice Mini! I have a Mini Countryman and I love it

Congrats Keithmaine! Great color choice and compliment to your beautiful Mini. And you've got a great eye... I didn't notice the similarities the CSC logo has to the Mini logo!

So... do you really think you're going to keep the RX-3 crated-up all winter? Definitely good to make headway on the Ural restoration (love those!) but if it were me, I'd be tempted to at least look... or sit... or ride...

I will keep it crated as long as I can hold out, because it will push me to get my project done. Once complete I will have room to bring her home.
The Ural in pieces takes up a lot of garage space.

Good for you, Keith.

Welcome to The Cult of The Zong.

Resistance was futile. You have been assimilated.

Trust me being an American mfg. company I am taking a hit from one my partners. I had to show him that his beloved Duramax diesel is owned in part by Isuzu. And then point out the many China made parts on the vehicle. His theory is if he does know it is from China it's okay. He will not shop at Walmart because of this yet sends his wife there to buy stuff.

I am a realist it is a world market, we will keep fighting the government restrictions that keep us from being competitive with many of these countries. The only way for a small mfg. to compete is to adapt, improvise, and overcome.

sorry

Your Ural is not manufactured in the United States, either.

You're TW is Japanese, but I suspect your work partner is ok with that.

Yes Japan is okay because right now we compete with China, Taiwan, and Malaysia on job quotes. And his beloved Duramax is half Jap

No problem he'll get over it

It's not far from Reno to Sacramento, Jim.

If you can find the time, I think you would enjoy going over there to meet Ryan and Matt, and see the RX3 in person.

Incidentally, it appears CSC is currently offering free shipping for the RX3.

Yes looks like that to me also but the tank, fenders and caption say white

rtking · 11-07-2015, 08:31 PM

I think silver will look great on the RX-3, especially with the black plastic.

But I'm sticking with my orange (fastest color) RX-3. :-)

keithmaine · 11-12-2015, 01:59 PM

Well she shipped to me yesterday, minor address mess up Sara & Ryan are working on it now. As it was to be sent to my business and it is headed for my home. But she is on the way. Nothing but great service from CSC.
